The Disgusting Rabbit

Picture from here

At my house, about 3 years ago, at the bottom of a black pipe in my back yard was a clump of hair. My mom was walking around the yard and saw it, she thought it was my dog's hair clumped at the bottom. So she picked it up and went to go throw it away. When she walked back around the house more of it had slid down the pipe. My mom went to go get my dad and take him outside to show him so I followed and so did my sister Sydney, and her Kaylee. When we all got out there my dad looked in the pipe and said therre was something stuck in it but he couldn't quite tell what. so he got the hose and shoved it down the top of the pipe. When he turned on the water it took about 30 seconds before maggots started coming down and out the drain. Then my neighbor came out to go for a walk and saw what we were up to and decided to help us. My mom told me to go get some bleach so she could pour it down. So I ran inside and grabbed some. Then after about 30 minutes of that my dad stuck the hose really deep into the pipe. Then a loud gurgling sound came out, a nasty smell and a dead rabbit carcus covered in flies and maggots. Sydney, Kaylee, and I all screamed and I gagged a little bit. It was so nasty! Then my dad had me go get a trashbag, I handed it to him and he took the trashbag and scooped up the dead rabbit then threw it into the back of his truck. While my dad was doing that my mom was going bezirk with the bleach and flinging it anywhere she saw a maggot or fly. So now on that part of my yard anytime I go around it I leap over the spot where everything came out.

Remodeling My Living Room

Picture from here

Right now my mom and dad are remodeling our living room. We used to have fishing decor, like a strip of fish wallpaper going around my living room with two thin pieces of wood on the top and bottom, and my living room was just a plan beige color through out the whole living room.We had a long couch and a loveseat and a big soft chair. Now we've repainted my the walls. On top there's a light golden carmel and on the bottom there's a deep brown color with a piece of chair rail in between the two colors. My dog Ellie has a cage in the living room so on tuesday my Dad and I went out and got some particleboard. We measured her her cage and we built a table around it. We got  this extra piece of wood from my gramma that she used when we she was redoing her kitchen and laid it over the top and put it in  a corner of our living room.


What I Think

What I think when I see that picture is a couple different things.
1.The first thing I think of is weight. Being overweight or being almost anorexic. It makes me thing of a show I watched called Fat Camp. They were seeing the waist of this girl who was new and they used one of those things in the picture and the whole measuring tape wouldn't fit around her.
2.Being pregnant and mesuring how big a belly is. Like at a baby shower I went to they had a game were you had to guess how big her belly was.
3.Sewing with my Aunt Kathy. She is teaching me to sew. So far I've made a 9 square pillow and I'm in the middle of making an apron. She tells stories about the stuff that she's sewn. Like this dress that had beading all over it and it was a dark blue color for my great gramma. She made for her so she would have a lovely dress to go on a cruise with my great grampa.
So one picture can strike up alot of different memories and thoughts.

My Braces

I just had an orthodontist appointment 3 days ago. I lost 2 teeth over the summer. So I got new brackets. On one of my teeth they have to rotate it. So they put these buttons on my tooth that has to be turned. They aren't really buttons just little circles that they put on the inside of my tooth and put a white rubberband to connect them so that tooth starts to turn. So it rubs aginst my tounge and hurt s REALLY BAD! I also got a new color. I got lime green. So everytime they switch the color of my braces they're a little sore for a couple of days. Now I had to eat soft food for a while until my teeth stop hurting like mashed potatoes, choclate pudding, and, room tempreture cheesesticks. But I don't think that the tooth thats being rotated will stop hurting unless the take the buttons off.

My Bottled Memory

If I could bottle up a memory and relive it it would be my 11th birthday party. I would bottle that memory up because I had such a great time with all my friends. I think I would open that memory up on my birtday every year and hope for another birthday as fun as my 11th birthday. At my birthday there were 8 girls. My sister Anna, my cousin Avery, my friends Lindsey, Carley, Stella, Olivia, Lizzie, my friend Joelle (who I don't get to see very much because she lives around Sullivan), and me. I had alot of fun on my birthday my mom let me miss school so my mom and me could go pick Joelle up and get everything for my party. When I would uncork that memory I think I would feel happy and exited.

Labor Day And Its History

Labor Day comes every year on the first monday of September. The first Labor Day was held in 1882. Still no one quite knows who first thought of the idea. There was Peter McGuire who was then the general secretary of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners. He was also cofounded the American Fediration of Labor. He first suggested "who from rude nature have delved and carved all the grandeur we behold". Then there was Matthew Mcguire. Many of whom believe created Labor Day. He worked as a machinist and later was the secretary of a local 344 of the International Asscosiation Machinist in Patterson New Jersey thought of the idea in 1882 while sevring as secretary of the Central Labor Union in New York.

Anyhow Labor Day is a celabration of the achievements of an American worker and how they have added martirally to the highest standard of living. Read more HERE.
